Top 10 Fancy Dress Ideas Party Themes

!±8± Top 10 Fancy Dress Ideas Party Themes

Fancy dress ideas party themes can determine not only the tone of the party but also how much fun people will have leading up to the night.

Gone are the days when fancy dress was restricted to children's birthday parties and rowdy hen nights - people all over the country people are discovering the sheer amusement at spending their weekend dressed as a pirate!!

Whether you choose to showcase your weird and wonderful costumes at your local club/pub or in the relative privacy of a house party - fancy dress is a great way to have a brilliantly different night!

Regardless of how much money you have to spend there are loads of options available for the fancy dress connoisseur! Feeling Flush? Why not splash out on ready made costume with all the trimmings? Watching the pennies? Then put on your best Blue Peter hat and get creative at home. Whatever your budget being dressed up has a great effect on people and is bound to result in an amusing night!

Here's my top 10 favourite themes...

Position 10 - The 'P' party*

This theme is great as it gives people scope to apply creativity, while condoning plagiaristic laziness. Say 'Arrgg matey' and say hello to join the plethora of Pirates, Prostitutes and Pikies. Thankfully you'll be in the semi-safe hands of the reasonably pissed up paramedics and police.

* This idea is transferable to any letter of the alphabet - or why not try asking guests to come as something beginning with the first letter of their name!

Position 9 - Superheroes

Whether it was Superman or He-man, Catwoman or even Supergran, we all had our favourite superheroes as a child - well now's your chance to finally be just like them!! The standard lycra & pants element is bound to turn heads (although not always for the right reasons!!) or why not be a bit different and go as the hero's alter ego?

Position 8 - Tarts & Vicars

The classic fancy dress theme - your chance to be seen in public wearing your shortest skirt and highest heels - teemed with the obligatory fishnets and that's only the guys! For the more reserved amongst us the vicar costume is an easy alternative.

Position 7 - Charity shop night

Have fun and get some good karma whilst you do it! Set a price limit and your guests have to buy their whole outfit (shoes and accessories included) from your local charity shop. The results are always hilarious and no two outfits are ever the same - just keep an eye on the number of guys dressed as women - they love it!!!

Position 6 - Uniforms

Every girl loves a man in uniform!! And I'm sure the other way round is no exception!! From sailors and firemen to nurses and air hostesses this is a great theme for stag and hen nights and is bound to get you lots of attention. Just be careful not to lose the keys to those handcuffs!!

Position 5 - What you want to be when you grow up

Not only is this a great theme with loads of options but you also get to find out what your friends aspired to be when they were kids. There's always a few policemen and nurses - however you bound to see some slightly more unusually career goals like your lawyer friend who actually wanted to be a zoo keeper or your posh sister in law who secretly yearned to be a bin man!!

Position 4 - Films Stars

Always fancied yourself as a bit of a Hollywood Starlet? Think you'd make a good 007 or Lara Croft? Or do you see yourself as more of a Fred Flintstone? The options for this theme are endless and with more films arriving at your local multiplex each week there's no excuse not to come up with a great costume!

Position 3 - Cowboys and Indians

Another classic theme and so easy to do - throw together some denim and a checked shirt - and I bet you ladies have at least one pair of cowboy boots in the cupboard somewhere! Plus you get a chance to play fight with the obligatory toy weapons!

Position 2 - Heaven and Hell

Are you a dirty devil or an innocent angel - or why not combine the two and come as a naughty nun? Whatever you choose this is a great theme - even dressed as an angelic being I'm sure you'll get some cheeky devil's heart racing!

Position 1 - Goodies and Baddies

Whether you go for a famous duo like Austin Powers and Dr Evil or a classic coupling like cops and robbers this is a theme with loads of scope for imagination and a great idea for couples.

We hope this helps if you are struggling to find a theme for your party.

Enjoy,

Angela

Keep Up With Bed and Breakfast Trends and Avoid Dying a Slow Death

!±8± Keep Up With Bed and Breakfast Trends and Avoid Dying a Slow Death

You may have heard of that saying that goes "don't fix something that isn't broken." It may also be interpreted as not changing something that is working just fine. I have used this expression many times before, in many different instances. I tend to agree with it in most cases except for a few situations such as the ever changing bed and breakfast trends. As a bed and breakfast owner or someone who is interested in buying a B and B, then you must consider if change is a good or bad thing. Many bed and breakfasts that have been long established the past several years may have a difficult time relating to change, especially if they think that their inn is running perfectly well the same way it has the past decade or so.

In our modern world, marketing and management styles have changed significantly. Maybe the change and its effects have not caught up with all businesses yet but it eventually will make a difference. Sooner or later sales will dip, fewer customers will drop by and competitors will overshadow the ones who refuse to follow the new bed and breakfast trends. The unfortunate ones will have to sell, close shop or lose the business they built for several years. Whether you are buying a B and B or running one, trends are important factors in keeping your business open in the future. Marketing techniques today are quite different from a decade ago. It is essential to have a significant internet presence to capture a wider market and attract more customers. Nowadays, more people tend to look for everything they need online. You don't have to hire a professional to achieve this internet presence when you can do it yourself.

After You Get a Girl's Phone Number - Ways Not To Lose Interest

!±8± After You Get a Girl's Phone Number - Ways Not To Lose Interest

Ever had a situation where you got the girl's phone number, but you didn't get a date after that? When you called her up she didn't sound interested in talking to you so you didn't bother asking her out. What's going on here, it doesn't make sense since you got her number right?

It all lies in the concept of interest level. Her never in you never "stays still", it's either increasing or decreasing. While she was interested when you first met her, the interest level could have gone down by the time you call her. The secret to beating this isn't to call her earlier when you're fresh on her mind, that just makes you look desperate.

A lot of things could've happened. She could've met another guy during that time or she was just being polite by giving you her number. Shit happens, but there are things you can do to increase your success.

Suggest a Date When You First Meet Her

When you get her phone number, she dosen't know what to expect. Her interest level will lower because she's not thinking about you. What you can do is suggest an activity together when you first meet her.

Me: I cooked the most delicious Ziti last night, my mom would be so proud of me

Her: Ohh I love Ziti! Can you cook some for me?

Me: Maybe, it depends on what you'll do for me! Give me your number, we can get together this weekend

After you get her number, she'll be thinking about the event and anticipating when you're going to call because she has a clear image in her head of the event.

Go on an Instant Date

Who says you have to get her number, wait a few days, call for date, wait a few days again, THEN go on a date?

Skip all that and go on a date when you first ask her out if the timing's right. For instance if you meet her at a coffee shop, just casually ask her what her plans are for the day and suggest something better.

Me: What are you up to the rest of the day?

Her: I don't know, I haven't planned anything special

Me: I just got a new place and gotta do some furniture shopping. Wanna come to IKEA and give me a female perspective. You know straight guys aren't good with this kinda stuff.

Another idea is if you meet her at a club or party. Me and my boys always go out and eat afterwards at like 3 in the morning. The night's still young, why not invite her along? By the time you're done it'll be around 5am, you can suggest that it's easier if she comes back to your place to spend the night

The benefits of an "instant date"

More time to build interest/attractionGoing to different places when you first meet will make her feel like she's known you longerThere are no "expectations" as opposed to a traditional date. Since it'll be more like hanging out, she'll lower her guard and be more susceptible to your charm! A phone number is a terrible thing to waste, please ensure you get dates out of it!
